The food and service provided for our special occasion was amazing. The gentlemen set up the dishes and created a beautiful presentation. Our guests were thrilled. Noodle Pudding rocks

Will never go back, such a rip off. Ok, the food is fine, but the service is the biggest turn off. My wife and I just went for a Saturday night dinner. She ordered the house white. I asked if they had a house red, like a chianti. (which is usually the house red anyway, as anyone who knows Italian food knows.) Our food took forever, and the couple sitting next to us ordered the same exact thing after us, but yet they they were served before us. Our server was very attentive, offering us more wine (often before our glassed were done), but never apologizing for our food being late. Once we stopped ordering wine, and ordered coffee he never paid attention to us, and our espressos never even came. The bill comes and my wife's wine costs $4 per glass for the house white. Since I said chianti, mine are $12 a glass. (Not the $4 house red price) Ok, so fine so I said chianti along with house, and he chose to pick the more expensive glass. The whole thing was so manipulative (he knew he had us) , and planned that we will never go back.

If you're looking for Italian in Brooklyn Heights, noodle pudding has great food, better prices, and a great warm atmosphere and a better location.

If you're looking for the real thing, then look no further. Dishes are delicious yet mostly simple with a focus on fresh ingredients. Exactly how a good trattoria is in Italy! I go there on average twice a month and have been doing so for the last three years. I do dislike the long wait and hence I tend to come early or late. I am also quite happy about the service. Yes it can be a bit chaotic at times, or the bill may take a little longer. But as I am here to enjoy my evening and not on a strict time schedule, that never bothers me too much. Iprefer that over waiters that take plates away before you finish or bring bills within seconds of finishing your last dish.Anyway, I am a fan of the place!

The food at Noodle Pudding is sometimes serviceable, sometimes good, never great, but that's fine (it is brooklyn heights after all). But the service here is a huge problem. I've sat at tables, I've sat at the bar -- it doesn't matter: I get ignored, I can't get the check, food never comes, I can't get salt and pepper, I can't get cheese...and on and on. It's slim pickins in the heights (Keth McNally where are you!?!?) but still, I have my pride Noodle Pudding. You need to fix this, or i'm shuffling off to Cobble Hill for my pasta from now on.

the seater treated us as if they were doing us a favor to give a table. the waiter was "super cool" - this is not meant in a good way, basking in the glow of his coolness. why did we come here? the chicken was good. the attitude terrible.

I love this place. But if your idea of good Italian is salty calamari with lots of breading and a goopy Caesar salad then go to Olive Garden. It aint that kind of place. Noodle Pudding does some things amazingly well. I love the roast chicken with pancetta, the grilled sardines, the pork chops or almost any fish dish. Try the specials. I think they actually feature the quality ingredients in an almost magical way. But adjust your expectations - it's not a Sicilian pasta and red sauce place. I rarely order the pasta dishes here. Not because they're not good, but because they're really primi dishes - modest portions (and prices for the most part) and if you have an appetite, you should order an entree. The negative comments on the wait and crowded atmosphere are fair, but once you're seated you're in for a treat.
